With Christmas around the corner, I was curious if anyone had a favorite toy commercial they liked or enjoyed growing up? Or maybe a Christmas toy commercial?
Here are some of mine:
Kenner Star Wars Toy TV Commercials 1980 Boba Fett (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KvlcbWF9T0#noexternalembed)
Bullet Man the Human Bullet GI Joe Commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLZUIS9X6c4#)
Got one of these Zeroids for Christmas one year, called Mom into the room everytime this commercial came on. First day back to school, and I came home to find my brother had dismantled it. >:(

I used to love that Spirograph commercial with the song that goes- I don't believe it, the things I can do with my spirograph.
That always looked like the most fun ever!
I had a Spirograph, Charpie.
When you could get them to work they worked really well. The problem was that those pins that hold the equipment in place didn't work very well. The did make good earrings for trolls, however!

I remember that fantastic commercial. Brings back memories.
I don't have a video of it but I've always been partial to the My Pet Monster commercial from the 80s. It starts out with a close up of the monster's face with some kid roaring and goes on to show the monster stomping on green army men. It ends with a crowd of kids all holding a monster and roaring. That commercial captivated me as a kid. All I wanted for Christmas that year was a My Pet Monster.
Without hesitation: The Great Garloo!!!

I wish there were commercials for Remco's Monkey Division...
Since there aren't I'll go with Agent Zero M-
